Poignant, frank, sometimes funny as hell, Seaton's Genetics invites the reader into the stunning and the mundane, an evolving life where Sappho and Popeye, pirates and saints, speed demons, and a busload of bass players appear and vanish. Some might consider Genetics a mode of magical transportation. Enjoy the ride! Maureen Seaton's subject is womanhood-an experience she presents as, by turns, a liturgically voluptuous sacrament and the kind o...

Sweet World reveals a 21st-century life in the midst of an epidemic. It's not about hating, battling, or even ultimately surviving the ravages of the epidemic as much as it is an homage to a life that continues even as the illness exists within the fabirc of the body--the body, which is not victim, but vehicle for love, light, and growth.
